The Buttermilk Biscuit Boy

by Amanda Nelson, Laurie Klein (Illustrator)

Overview

Yee-haw! It's breakfast time! It's a laugh on every page when two cowboys try to make breakfast and instead make a buttermilk biscuit that comes alive! The buttermilk biscuit boy is sure he can outrun the cowpokes and takes off like a shot. They are joined by hungry pigs, cows, ponies, and a wily coyote as they pursue the smug pastry through pastures far and wide. When they come to a wide canal, it looks like the buttermilk biscuit boy might be stuck with no way out. Will he escape the famished, grumpy group? Or will his plans melt like hot butter on a crumbly biscuit? This spunky country twist on the classic tale and bright, playful illustrations will delight readers of all ages.

Editorial Reviews

Amanda S. Nelson's The Buttermilk Biscuit Boy tells of a lazy ranch morning when two cowboys decide to make a big buttermilk-biscuit breakfast. In a playful mood, they decide to give the biscuit a face - but when it's done, it sprouts arms and legs and runs away. It's The Gingerbread Man with a twist as a rollicking chase ensues, all captured by Laurie Klein in a series of whimsical, fun adventures kids will love.
